Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Receptacles, Female Sockets

55510-336 application field and working principle

The 55510-336 is a type of rectangular connector widely used in communications and robotic markets. It is commonly referred to as a power lead header and typically used in applications for power connections, fleet communications, medical devices, robotics, RF and microwave applications, and high-speed data transmission. The 55510-336 connector range includes 4-pin to 16-pin headers and receptacles, and utilizes an innovative modular design which can be built up to include custom cable lengths and pin numbers.

The 55510-336 connector is available in male and female connector configurations, with female connectors being specifically optimized for power and data transfer. Female sockets are well-suited for fast connection and disconnection, even in harsh environments. In addition, the female versions of the 55510-336 are compatible with a variety of different cable and plug-in connectors, offering compatibility with other hardware and field-deployment requirements.

The 55510-336 series of rectangular connectors offer an exceptionally durable connection that can stand up to temperatures ranging from -40°C to +125°C. This makes the connectors suitable for a wide variety of applications, from large-scale industrial and construction sites to outer space applications. The thermal stability of the 55510-336 connectors allows them to maintain a precise and reliable mechanical connection even during temperature cycling and rapid temperature changes.

The 55510-336 power leads header is designed to provide reliable transmission of both power and data signals. Its modular nature allows for custom wiring configurations and cable lengths, and its low-profile female connectors are designed to provide a secure connection with minimal interference. The connectors use a 3-dimensional signal integrity (SI) coil spring contact technology that ensures a secure mechanical connection even in high-vibration environments. This SI technology also reduces signal loss compared to other commonly used rectangular connector contact technologies.

The 55510-336 rectangular connectors are constructed with an improved glandless, springless retainer lock, which provides a secure connection without the use of external glands. The improved retainer lock also offers more reliable connection due to its superior manufacturing process, which includes through-hole plating for corrosion protection, and a molded-in top and back seal to protect the contacts and provide a better environmental seal.

The 55510-336 rectangular connectors provide superior vibration resistance and reliability due to their non-slip housing, which ensures stable and consistent contact pressure for a secure connection. The non-slip housing also reduces electrical shock hazard in harsh environments. Furthermore, the connectors can be used in environments where conventional rectangular connectors cannot, such as near volatile chemicals or flammable liquids.

The 55510-336 is designed to provide reliable and secure connections for both power and data transmission in all types of environments. Its highly modular design allows for custom wiring configurations and cable lengths, while its uniquely designed retainer lock ensures a secure connection without external glands. And its SI technology provides superior signal integrity and transmission even in high-vibration environments. The 55510-336 is an ideal solution for a variety of applications, from large-scale industrial and construction sites to outer space applications.
